WORLD WAR Z (Max Brooks) - Early March/07

Brooks takes a fascinating premise and squanders it by emphasizing different characters every 10 pages or so. This is meant to be an oral history of the zombie war, but since it never actually happened, it's impossible to care about any of these individual stories. Brooks fails to realize that you can't really do a book like this without at least one actual character; there's otherwise absolutely nothing here for the reader to become invested with. No rating (stopped around page 70).
